WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
(4G MOBILE COMMUNICATION)

ABSTRACT:
Today, mobile communications play a central role in the voice/data network arena. With
the deployment of mass scale 3G just around the corner, new directions are already being
researched. In this paper we address about the 4TH G mobile communications.

The Fourth Generation (4G) Mobile Communications should not focus only on the data-
rate increase and new air interface.4G Mobile should instead con-verge the advanced
wireless mobile communications and high-speed wireless access systems into an Open
Wireless Architecture (OWA) platform which becomes the core of this emerging next
generation mobile technology. Based on this OWA model, 4G mobile will deliver the
best business cases to the wireless and mobile industries,i.e.cdma2000/WLAN/GPRS 3-
in-1 product, WCDMA/OFDM/WLAN 3-in-1 product, etc. Asia-Pacific is the most
dynamic market of new generation mobile communications with over $100 Billion
businesses in the next decade.
The 4G mobile technology -convergence of wireless mobile and wireless access,
will definitely drive this growth. Any single-architecture wireless system, including 3G,
HSDPA, WiMax, etc., is a transitional solution only, and will be replaced by open
wireless architecture system very soon where various different wireless standards can be
integrated and converged on this open platform.
The advent of 4G wireless systems has created many research opportunities.
The expectations from 4G are high in terms of data rates, spectral efficiency, mobility
and integration. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is proving to be a
possible multiple access technology to be used in 4G. But OFDM comes with its own
challenges like high Peak to Average Ratio, linearity concerns and phase noise. This
paper proposes a solution to reduce Peak to Average Ratio by clipping method. ATLAB
as used to generate the OFDM signal to prove that clipping does reduce Peak to Average
Ratio.

INTRODUCTION:
The first operational cellular communication system was deployed in the Norway in 1981
and was followed by similar systems in the US and UK. These first generation systems
provided voice transmissions by using frequencies around 900 MHz and analogue
modulation.
The second generation (2G) of the wireless mobile network was based on low-band
digital data signaling. The most popular 2G wireless technology is known as Global

Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM). The first GSM systems used a 25MHz
frequency spectrum in the 900MHz band.
Planning for 3G started in the 1980s. Initial plans focused on
multimedia applications such as videoconferencing for mobile phones. When it became
clear that the real killer application was the Internet, 3G thinking had to evolve. As
personal wireless handsets become more common than fixed telephones, it is
clear that personal wireless Internet access will follow and users will want broadband
Internet access wherever they go.

2G 3G 4G

The objective of the 3G was to develop a new protocol and new technologies to further
enhance the\mobile experience. In contrast, the new 4G framework to be established will
try to accomplish new levels of user experience and multi-service capacity by also
integrating all the mobile technologies that exist (e.g.
GSM - Global System for Mobile Communications, GPRS - General Packet Radio
Service, IMT-2000 - International Mobile Communications, Wi-Fi - Wireless Fidelity,
Bluetooth).In spite of different approaches, each resulting from different visions of the

future platform currently under investigation, the main objectives of 4G networks can be
stated in the following properties:

• Ubiquity;
• Multi-service platform;
• Low bit cost

To achieve the proposed goals, a very flexible network that aggregates various radio
access technologies, must be created. This network must provide high bandwidth, from
50-100 Mbps for high mobility users, to 1Gbps for low mobility users, technologies that
permit fast handoffs, an efficient delivery.

Migrating to 4G:
The fact that 4G mobile networks intend to integrate almost every wireless standard
already In use, enabling its simultaneous use and interconnection poses many questions
not yet answered. The research areas that present key challenges to migrate current
systems to 4G are many but can be summarized in the following: Mobile Station, System
and Service. [7] To be able to use 4G mobile networks a new type of mobile terminals
must be conceived. The terminals to be adopted must adapt seamless to multiple wireless
networks, each with different protocols and technologies. Auto reconfiguration will also
be needed so that terminals can adapt to the different services available. This adaptation
may imply that it must download automatically configuration software from networks in
range. Moreover terminals must be able to choose from all the available wireless
networks the one to use with a specific service. To do this it must be aware of
specifications of all the networks in terms of bandwidth, QoS supported, costs and
respect to user preferences. Terminal mobility will be a key factor to the success of 4G
networks. Terminals must be able to provide wireless services anytime, everywhere. This
implies that roaming between different networks must be automatic and transparent to the
user. There are two major issues in terminal mobility, location management and handoff

management [7]. Location management deals with tracking user mobility, and handling
information about original, current and (if possible) future cells. Moreover it must deal
with authentication issues and QoS assurances. Handoff management primary objective
is to maintain the communications while the terminal crosses wireless network
boundaries. In addition, 4G networks, in opposition to the other mobile generations, must
deal with vertical and horizontal handoffs, i.e., a 4G mobile client may move between
different types of wireless networks (e.g. GSM and Wi-Fi) and between cells of the same
wireless network (e.g. moving between adjacent GSM cells). Furthermore, many of the
Services available in this new mobile generation like videoconference have restrict time
constraints and QoS needs that must not be perceptible affected by handoffs. To avoid
these problems new algorithms must be researched and a prevision of user mobility will
be necessary, so as to avoid broadcasting at the same time to all adjacent antennas what
would waste unnecessary resources. Another major problem relates to security, since 4G
pretends to join many different types of mobile technologies. As each standard has its
own security scheme, the key to 4G systems is to be highly flexible.
Services also pose many questions as 4G users may have different operators to different
services and, even if they have the same operator, they can access data using different
network technologies. Actual billing using flat rates, time or cost per bit fares, may not be
suitable to the new range of services. At the same time it is necessary that the bill is well
understood by operator and client. A broker system would be advisable to facilitate the
interaction between the user and the different service providers.
Another challenge is to know, at each time, where the user is and how he can be
contacted. This is very important to mobility management. A user must be able to be
reached wherever he is, no matter the kind of terminal that is being used. This can be
achieved in various ways one of the most popular being the use of a mobile-agent
infrastructure. In this framework, each user has a unique identifier served by personal
mobile agents that make the link from users to Internet.

Multi-technology Approach:

• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)


• Open wire less Architecture(OWA)



• Multiple-input multiple-output ( MIMO )

GENERIC MIMO AND OFDM:

Increasing demand for high performance 4G broadband wireless mobile calls for

use of multiple antennas at both base station and subscriber ends. Multiple

antenna technologies enable high capacities suited for Internet and multimedia services
and also dramatically increase range and reliability. This design is motivated by the
growing demand for broadband wireless Internet access. The challenge for wireless
broadband access lies in providing a comparable quality of service for similar cost as
competing wire line technologies. The target frequency band for this system is 2 to 5
GHz due to favorable propagation characteristics and low radio-frequency (RF)
equipment cost. The broadband channel is typically non LOS channel and includes
impairments such as time selective fading and frequency-selective fading. Multiple
antennas at the transmitter and receiver provide diversity in a fading environment. By
employing multiple antennas, multiple spatial channels are created and it is unlikely all
the channels will fade simultaneously.

OFDM is chosen over a single carrier solution due to lower complexity of equalizers for
high delay spread channels or high data rates. A broadband signal is broken down into
multiple narrowband carriers (tones), where each carrier is more robust to multipath. In
order to maintain orthogonality amongst tones, a cyclic prefix is added which has length
greater than the expected delay spread. With proper coding and interleaving across
frequencies, multipath turns into an OFDM system advantage by yielding frequency
diversity. OFDM can be implemented efficiently by using FFT's at the transmitter and
receiver .At the receiver, FFT reduces the channel response into a multiplicative constant
on a tone-by-tone basis .With MIMO, the channel response becomes a matrix. Since each
tone can be equalized independently, the complexity of space time equalizers is avoided.

Multipath remains an advantage for a MIMO-OFDM system since frequency selectivity


caused by multipath improves the rank distribution of the channel matrices across
frequency tones, thereby increasing capacity

OPENWIRELESSARCHITECTURE

The 4G Mobile communications will be based on the Open Wireless Architecture


(OWA)to ensure the single terminal can seamlessly and automatically connect to the
local high-speed wireless access systems when the users are in the offices, homes,
airports or shopping centers where the wireless access networks (i.e. Wireless LAN,
Broadband Wireless Access, Wireless Local Loop, HomeRF, Wireless ATM, etc) are
available. When the users move to the mobile zone (i.e. Highway, Beach, Remote area,
etc.),the same terminal can automatically switch to the wireless mobile networks
(i.e.GPRS,W-CDMA,cdma2000, TD-SCDMA, etc.).This converged wireless
communications can provide the following advantages.

the service quality and multimedia applications Figure 1 shows the wireless evolution to
4G mo bile communications based on OWA platform, where 3G,Wireless LAN and other
wireless access technologies will be converged into 4G mobile platform to deliver the
best infrastructure of mobile communications with optimal spectrum efficiency and
resource management. In fact, this OWA model had already been accepted by most
wireless industries, for example, the W-CDMA/W-LAN/Bluetooth 3-in-1 terminal is

GOAL:

The goal of 4th Generation (4G) mobile communications technologies is


to realize wireless communications at the same high data rate as is made possible through
use of the fiber-optic transmission systems that are available today. Realization of 4G
mobile communications is foreseen in the early 2010s, but various precursor technologies
and services have been appearing as of late. A scrutiny on the market trends, along with a
close watch on carrier reaction as to the introduction of the Mobile Number Portability
(MNP) system planned for October 24, 2006, is of vital importance at this time for all
those interested in this business field.

5. Conclusion:
In this paper we present the evolution of mobile communications
through all its generations. From the initial speech vocation to an IP-based data network,
several steps were made. From the analog voice centric first generation to the digital
second generation, the goal was to enhance the voice experience of a user, by improving

the quality of the communication while using more efficiently the installed capacity. At the
same time the enhanced mobility provided by seamless handover and the additional data
communications capacity (although very small) advanced and opened the doors to future
developments Some of the developments was brought by generation 2.5 namely by GPRS,
which improved data communications by supporting IP in the GSM infrastructure. With the
third generation the goal changed from voice-centric to data-centric. Moreover total obility
became an objective to pursuit. In this generation it is possible to combine voice, lnter
media applications and mobility in a never experienced manner. However, the global
mobility, while an important objective, was never really reached. At the same time new
applications demand more bandwidth and lower costs. The newcomer fourth-generation
tries to address this problem by integrating all different wireless technologies. In spite of all
the evolving technologies the final success of new mobile generations will be dictated by
the new services and contents made available to users. These new applications must meet
user expectations, and give added value over existing offers.
